Firecracker Forum Set
This tutorial was
written by me on June 14, 2012,
using my own ideas. Any resemblance to others is coincidental and accidental.
This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of psp and is written in
PSPX.

love when downloading supplies. The artists/creators work hard to make/share
their work with us, so let's be appreciative. Please use all correct copyright
